Interview
Have you ever used a typewriter?
My grandmother owned a typewriter, and I was fortunate enough to have the chance to "play" with it as a kid.
Why did you become a journalist?
I believe in the transformative power of words and stories. Long after we are gone, all that remains are the stories about us.
What story are you most proud of writing or working on?
One story I'm exceptionally proud of is the short essay I wrote for Business Insider We flew across the globe to find long-lost relatives. Despite the hurdles, we connected with family and had the trip of a lifetime.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
Find me at my local Pure Barre studio, outside walking or riding my bike, or cozy on my couch with my Bengal cats.
